Where Were You?

Published by Family Friend Poems August 2008 with permission of the Author.

When I finally left
you begged me to stay
but all the times you were gone
it was all okay.
It was cool if you partied
till 4 the next night.
I was at home crying,
but to you it was all right.
I remember one year,
it was Valentine's Day and I was sick in bed.
You could have been there to take care of me,
but out cheating on me...instead.
I wonder if I did that
how that would make you feel,
the person you thought loved you
betrays you and thinks it's no big deal.
I think it's kind of funny now
that I stayed around that long.
Did you only push me down
to make yourself feel strong?
I know relationships have problems
I know there will always be,
but can you say your man was in a strip club
the one day you were at JSC?

I know I love you with all my heart
even though it's all in half.
I guess I'll try to repair one side,
the other you can have.
I miss you every single day,
but I know leaving was the right thing to do
'cause if you really love me
you would have never been untrue.
